My Larpstyle determines my Derpstyle
You're in the group that is much more exclusive to the less extended, more harder rocking TMV stuff. Then, there's another group of fans that swear by 'Frances'. Personally, I love every single thing they have except a lot of 'Goliath'. It's the heaviest and most urgent, but the songwriting isn't as good as the previous three IMO. My favorites are 'Amputechture' and 'De-Loused', with 'Frances' behind because it just doesn't have as many songs...though I still love it... playing 'Cassandra Gemmini' right now actually...I don't see it as random noodling in this song...not in a bad way at least...sometimes the journey can be extended and it's just fine.
I don't have a problem with extended jams or psychedelic breakdowns in general, but on Frances.. it feels excessive to me. Maybe I need to bunker down for a day with some mushrooms or acid and it'll all make perfect sense..
Last night I saw the GZA aka the Genius play at a local nightclub. It was a really good concert. GZA played a lot from both Liquid Swords and his new stuff. He also even did a little bit of Clan in Da Front and I Like it Raw. Beretta 9 from Killarmy was the opening act and he was decent. All in all a really fun and new experience.
Awesome, I'd love to see him or the whole Clan live at some point.
The first Foo Fighters is really good. It has a lot more charm than the recent arena rock-ish material. Grohl wrote all of it while touring with Nirvana, so some of that influence comes through.
Agreed. It's the only album of theirs that is any good. I think the main reason is because it was stuff he'd been writing for years by himself, and by playing all the instruments on the recording himself, it remained somewhat pure. As soon as he started writing new stuff with the musicians he'd hired, it all went to shit very quickly.
